Tom Ford Ties The Knot

TOM FORD
has revealed that he is married to his partner of 27 years, Richard
Buckley.

The designer made the announcement while in conversation with
Kinvara Balfour at the Regent Street Apple Store last night, in his
usual fuss-free and candid style.

"I lost so many friends in college - I would say more than half
of my closest friends. Richard, my partner of 27 years, had also
gone through something also quite tough in his life. We are now
married which is nice," he said. "I know that was just made legal
in the UK which is great; we were married in the States."

The couple, who have a young son together - Alexander John
Buckley Ford - met at a fashion show in the Eighties, a moment that
Ford has in the past described as instant attraction. "I went to a
fashion show and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with
these piercing water-blue eyes," he told WWD. "It scared
me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future."
